Nigerian transgender Bobrisky named Best Dressed Female
Bobrisky, a Nigerian who underwent gender reassignment surgery to become a woman, has made headlines after being awarded as the ‘best-dressed female’ at the ‘Beast of Two Worlds’ movie premiere over the weekend, in Lagos.
She beat Ogbonge Nollywood stars like Toyin Abraham, Mercy Aigbe, Sola Sobowale and bagged a 1 million Naira prize for the win.
Bobrisky, who gained fame for her feminine clothing choices, appeared at the premiere of the film “Ajanaku: Beast of the Worlds” on Sunday and was named the best-dressed female.
Bobrisky, born and given the name Okuneye Idris Olanrewaju by her parents, has identified as a woman since undergoing a series of surgeries to change her appearance.
She has defied all odds and publicly identifies as a person of two genders despite Nigerian laws prohibiting anyone from identifying as having two genders or being a member of the LGBTQ community.
At the end of last year, Bobrisky revealed her body transformation for the first time after undergoing another surgery to enhance her behind.
In photos that circulated online, Bobrisky, dressed in black attire, was seen comfortably seated on her bed, displaying her new appearance.
Bobrisky quoted, “Beautiful and relaxing, that’s my style.”
